If you have control over the capture resolution, try Half D1 (given the 4500kbps you are using).

Half-D1 -- NTSC=352x480, PAL=352x576.

The more resolution the better the picture. What does lessening the res do?

Have a look at the info on the following link -- notice the quality of Full D1 at lower bitrate settings, compared to other resolutions at lower bitrate settings. The chart is "in general", and alot will depend on the quality of the source material (VHS, 8MM, Hi-8, Digital-8/miniDV, HDV, etc...), and also the subject matter of your material (talking heads vs. high action).

MPEG Bitrates, and Optimal Settings

Just a little update. I recorded from my TV Tuner Card (source is cable TV). When I tried to put it on a disc, I got the same "Convert step got some problem" thing again. I realized UVS 10 didn't work anymore. I went to uninstall it and got a choice of uninstall or do a repair. I did the repair and it worked.
Thanks for the advice. I wanted to post back so someone else can benifit.
Chris.
